Chen Yuanyuan and Wang Yue hugged each other sadly, and when they were crying miserably, Zhen Youcai's voice suddenly sounded outside the tent: "Madam, can the villain come in and say something?" ”

"Mr. Zhen?" Chen Yuanyuan hurriedly wiped away the tears on his cheeks and said in a low voice, "Please come in." ”

Zhen Youcai lifted the curtain and entered, first straightened up, and then lowered his head and said, "Madam, there is a sentence that villains can't help but say." ”

Chen Yuanyuan said: "Sir, please speak." ”

Zhen Youcai said: "When the villain returned to the camp, he happened to see Lord Chen, the secretary of the military department, going out, if the villain guessed correctly, Lord Chen must have come to find Mrs.?" ”

Chen Yuanyuan nodded in response, "Hmm." ”

Zhen Youcai said: "Although the villain didn't hear what Lord Chen said to Mrs. You, the villain can think of what he will say to you with his toes!" Madam, at this juncture, you must not go to the prison to meet with the general, let alone listen to Lord Chen's nonsense and kill yourself. ”

Chen Yuanyuan was stunned and said, "Sir, you? ”

Zhen Youcai still lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly at Chen Yuanyuan and Wang Yue, and said: "Madame thinks that she is an obstacle between the general and Her Royal Highness the princess, thinking that as long as he dies, the general can become the son-in-law of the long-lived lord, and the general will no longer have to worry about his surname, but in fact, the opposite is true, if you really find a short-term view, with the general's surname, he will never be a horse master again, and then he is only afraid that he will rebel immediately, then he really can't live." ”

Chen Yuanyuan Bingxue is smart, and she understands after Zhen Youcai finished speaking.

If Chen Yuanyuan committed suicide at this time, Wang Pu would obviously put this account on the heads of Wan Sui Ye and Chen Xinjia, and would think that Wan Sui Ye forced Chen Yuanyuan to death, and with Wang Pu's surname, it was really impossible to be a horse master anymore, so in fact, Wang Pu was harmed.

Thinking of what he was afraid of, Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and said a blessing to Zhen Youcai respectfully.

Zhen Youcai continued: "Madam, the general is playing a game with the Lord of Long Life, the Lord of Long Live wants to force the general to divorce his wife and remarry, but the general insists on taking you as his wife, Mrs., now it depends on who can consume whom, and whoever can't consume first will have to give in!" At this juncture, you must not visit the prison, so as not to cause trouble. ”

Chen Yuanyuan nodded and said, "Understood, Mr. Zhen reminded me more." ”

Zhen Youcai arched his hand and said: "Since Madame has figured it out, the villain will retire first, and the villain will go to Uncle Tian Guo's mansion later, and want to take the path of Tian Guifei through Uncle Tian Guo." ”

Two days later, Kunning Palace.

Princess Changping came to greet Queen Zhou as usual, because Emperor Chongzhen issued a gag order, and the palace no longer dared to openly talk about the marriage between Her Royal Highness the princess and Wang Pu, but this matter has become a thorn in Princess Changping's heart, so that she can't sleep or eat well, and she has lost weight in two days.

Princess Changping has never even seen Wang Pu's face, although she admires Wang Pu very much, she can't talk about any feelings, she is so tormented completely because she is worried about her marriage happiness, although Emperor Chongzhen issued a gag order in the palace, and also forbade hundreds of officials to discuss this matter, it seems that he wants to force everyone who knows about it to forget this matter.

But Princess Changping can't forget it.

In this era, regardless of the status of the women of a good family, they all attach great importance to the honor, Emperor Chongzhen has promised to marry in public, if Princess Changping can't marry Wang Pu in the end, her reputation will be the biggest stain, and she will no longer have the face to marry someone else, she doesn't even want to live anymore.

Looking at her daughter, who was getting thinner, Queen Zhou had nothing to do, and Zhou Guozhang, who came to visit the palace, could only shake his head and sigh.

"Ugh." Zhou Guozhang sighed and said gloomily, "It's really hard for Ru'er, this kid." ”

Queen Zhou choked up and said, "I don't know how this matter will end yet." ”

When the two were talking, Zhu Cijiong, the second son of the emperor, suddenly rushed into Kunning Palace in a hurry, and Daxiang shouted: "Queen Mother, it's spread all over the world, it's spread all over the place." ”

Empress Zhou glared at Zhu Cijiong and reprimanded, "What's the rumor?" ”

Zhu Cijiong said: "Of course, it is the love story of Wang Pu and the fireworks woman, oh, and the marriage between the imperial sister and Wang Pu, and now the people of Manyan Capital are saying that the father and the emperor are going to force Wang Pu to divorce his bad wife and marry the imperial sister, but Wang Pu would rather die than Chen Shimei." ”

"Huh?" Empress Zhou lost her voice and said, "This matter has spread all over the Jingshi?" ”

"yes." Zhu Cijiong nodded and said, "Now the nine major opera troupes in Yanjing City and many storytellers in teahouses and taverns are all rapping Wang Pu's plays, and they all say that Wang Pu values love and righteousness, and refuses to divorce the chaff and remarry, but his father and Chen Xinjia have to force him to divorce his wife and remarry." ”

"Ah, it's all about it?"

"What can I do?"

The national abbot Zhou Kui and the queen looked at each other.

"Queen mother, daughter is no longer alive."

Princess Changping let out a sad cry and hid her face and left.

Qianqing Palace.

Wang Chengen panted and ran into the warm pavilion, knelt on the ground and gasped: "Long live Lord, it's not good." ”

Emperor Chongzhen asked without raising his head, "What's wrong?" ”

Wang Chengen said: "The slave maid just got the news, the nine major opera troupes in the capital and many storytellers in the teahouse and tavern are talking about the matter of Wang Zongbing and Her Royal Highness the Princess, and now the people of Manjing already know about it." ”

"What did you say?" Emperor Chongzhen Huo Ran raised his head and asked in a deep voice, "The news that I want to marry Ru'er to Wang Pu has spread throughout the entire Jingshi?" ”

Wang Chengen said with a bitter face: "Long live the lord, there is more." ”

Emperor Chongzhen asked with a dark face, "What else?" ”

Wang Chengen said: "There is also a rumor that Wang Pu is unwilling to divorce his wife and remarry, but Long Live Lord and Lord Chen, the secretary of the Ministry of War, have to force him to divorce his bad wife. ”

"Really...... It really doesn't make sense. ”

Emperor Chongzhen was furious, but his tone inevitably revealed a bit of emptiness.

When Emperor Chongzhen personally agreed to marry, all the civil officials and military generals above the seventh grade in the Beijing Division were present, and it is not surprising that this matter has been circulated, and now it is meaningless to investigate who leaked the news, and it can't be investigated, but the bad thing is that now the news has spread all over the Jingshi, and it is too late to seal it.

In this way, things have become extremely tricky, Emperor Chongzhen is already difficult to ride a tiger, if he kills Wang Pu, it will confirm the rumors in the market, and then Wang Pu can have a good reputation for affection and righteousness, but Emperor Chongzhen is going to fall into the infamy of beating mandarin ducks, isn't that a slap in the face?

The most important thing is that the imperial court will also lose a general who can fight well! This is the last thing Emperor Chongzhen wants to see.

If the boat is pushed down the river and Princess Changping is given to Wang Pu as a wife, Emperor Chongzhen really can't swallow this breath, but the dignified princess wants to be on an equal footing with a fireworks woman, where does this make the royal face go? Besides, Emperor Chongzhen is the emperor and the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, how can there be any reason for the emperor to admit defeat and compromise with the general army?

Emperor Chongzhen paced back and forth a few steps with his hands in his hands, and suddenly shouted: "Wang Chengen." ”

Wang Chengen hurriedly took two steps forward, and replied with a hunched waist: "The slave is here." ”

Emperor Chongzhen shouted in a deep voice: "You immediately go to the prison, bring a message to Wang Pu for me, and say that I will give him two ways to go, one, immediately take the fireworks woman, and be my fast son-in-law of the dragon in a beautiful manner, two, tomorrow at noon, and the slave chief Emperor Taiji will be escorted to the entrance of the vegetable market, and I will be killed!" ”

Forced by the situation, Emperor Chongzhen could only have a showdown in advance.

"Huh?" Wang Chengen shivered excitedly, and said in a trembling voice, "Boom...... What is it? ”

Emperor Chongzhen said angrily: "Don't go quickly!" ”

Wang Chengen cautiously asked, "Long live, is this a secret decree or a ......?"

"It's not a secret decree!" Emperor Chongzhen said loudly, "Yesterday in the early dynasty, didn't Liu Zongzhou and Li Banghua jointly sign a concert to make Wang Pu's capital crime?" I will now allow them to play, severely punish Wang Pu, and take him to the entrance of the vegetable market at noon tomorrow to be executed, so as to set an example! ”

"The slave obeys." Wang Chengen said in a trembling voice, "The slave will go to the heavenly prison to announce the decree." ”
